How much money would you need to feel financially free?

It’s a tricky question to answer for many and understandably. If we haven’t sat down to work out what financial freedom means to us, how can we ever know what it will take to get there?

We all want to have a strong financial future and live life on our own terms, but what does that look like in practice? And how can we do it faster?

In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by financial content creator Sammie Ellard-King, known across social media as Up the Gains. He’s helping people get financially fit with his podcast, The Money Gains and his Gains app. Together they explore ways to help work out what financial freedom means to you, how to figure out your ‘number’ and the habits and steps you can make to close the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be.

Iona and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast. These might be different from L&G’s take on things. They give financial guidance for a UK audience that’s relevant at the time of recording. It’s general best practice, not the kind of personalised advice you’d get from a financial adviser.
